Jacinda Ardern has been praised for 'normalising' burnout after she announced she would step down as New Zealand's PM, saying she has 'nothing left in the tank'

Jacinda Ardern has been praised for"normalising" burnout after she announced she would step down as New Zealand's prime minister, saying she has"nothing left in the tank".at which she said:"I know what this job takes, and I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It's that simple."

In 1998 Kjell Bondevik, the Norwegian prime minister, attracted international attention when he announced he had depression - becoming the highest-ranking world leader to admit to suffering from a mental illness while in office.More recently in business, Tom Blomfield, the founder of digital challenger bank Monzo, has previously opened up about his struggles with anxiety, and HSBC executive Stuart White spoke about his own depression.

The phrase was coined in the 1970s after the psychologist Herbert Freudenberger experienced such fatigue and stress from his work that he could not get out of bed. One in five Britons told Mental Health UK that they feel"unable to manage stress and pressure in the workplace" in a survey of more than 2,000 people in March 2021.

I don’t blame her. The state of this country has made me so apathetic about everything except my mental health and my family’s. I now know nothing matters more than this and everything else can sod off.

Woman can't handle leadership role, gotcha 👍🏻

Why the hate for her? 🤷‍♂️

Quitter

LOL. Of course the left wing MSM comes running to praise this tyrannical failure.

The equivalent of walking out of class before the teacher gives you an F.

😂😂 what does that even mean?
